Jade was brought to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC) over two years ago after someone tried to illegally keep him as a pet, Scott Michaelis, a staffer at the AWCC, told The Dodo. Up until Storm's arrival, the 3-year-old had no other foxes like himself to interact with, though the center did its best to make up for it with forms of animal enrichment and human interaction.

Storm, on the other hand, was rescued from an illegal breeder in Montana.

"Red foxes are known to maintain a number of relationships in the wild," a press release from the center about Storm's arrival said. "The addition of Storm onto campus will be a mutually beneficial relationship and form of enrichment for both [Jade and Storm]."
